Everything that made this manga initially good was all for nothing.

I hate that everything bad that happened to each character—the very reason they became the characters that they are and how they got their strengths (defined by their traumas)—was being treated like edgy for the sake of edgy to combat the critique Mashima got in Fairy Tail's ending (lack of commitment to a main character death). Erasing their tragic backstories to give them a happy story was stupid. Mashima didn't have the guts to commit to giving his characters a proper story, and he proved that.

At the start of the story, I was really excited to see Mashima dare challenge the critiques but he fell back to his cheesy "for my friends" formula. Shiki became annoying. He started off as a charming boy who just wants to have as many friends as he can but to just ask the villains he beat (who mind you are criminals that did awful things to his friends, innocent people, and even himself) is beyond mind-numbing. Have some proper character morals for god's sake.

The ending is predictable, uninteresting, undeserved, and so sudden. Also, what's the point of creating incredible backstories for supporting characters, when all they are ever useful for in the end is a member of a marry-sue war?

So I have mixed feelings about Edens Zero, I do like it more then I dislike it as I do like that their is an actual goal which does help make this series better then Fairy Tail but I feel it does repeat some of Fairy Tails mistakes like taking the villain that was built up and replace them with a different villain that we just met and it feels the need to overcomplicate some backstories. I do like their was a point to going back in time in this case to redeem most the villains who were redeemable and they do show up granted I wish they played a bigger role like in this case it would have been more fitting if they participated in the final battle with Void and then help pull Shiki back after dealing with the Chronophage. I do like they did explain the Chronophage and not just forget about them and I do like the attempt at connecting them with Rebecca but I feel it still left a lot of questions unanswered in instance how did she get to the far future. Still not a bad series with a lot of positives, great powers, great fights, some interesting villains, and a diverse cast with a lot of unique powers and personalities with a decent amount of World Building. Its flaws are some overcomplicated backstories and some poorly explained details.

Pour ce tome final de la série on a enfin le dénouement de pas mal d'intrigue avec une bataille finale plutôt sympa, de nombreuses révélations, des rebondissements, de l'action... Bref un tome avec du ryhtme et qui offre une conclusion sympathique pour une série que j'ai beaucoup aimé avec des persos plutôt géniaux qui vont me manquer.
